Pay attention, drones: Alex Curran's handbag has had Botox. That's correct, the bag that Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's wife carries was created by a former dermatologist, and it has been injected with the wrinkle-smoothing substance.
Realise what this means? It means that even celebrities' accessories are having better "work" done than you. In fact, not since Pete Doherty's cat was found to have cocaine in its bloodstream has the leaden drudgery of your existence been made so inarguably clear.
The Zagliani bag is made of python skin and, according to its creator, impregnating the hide with Botox makes it "soft and supple".
Just like Teri Hatcher's forehead. Oh, wait ... (Incidentally, Lost in Showbiz has read all sorts of fashion predictions as to how Nicole Kidman will "handle" her pregnancy. Can I add one? She'll grow a fringe.)
Anyway, whatever the bag's expressionless little secret is - maybe just goji berries and a pathological aversion to full disclosure - it will set you back £1,500. Or at least it will until it starts nagging you that it wants its coin purse tightened and rejuvenated, when you could be looking at another injection of cash just to make it feel confident about itself "in there" again.
